Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 86 Special Edition Potion

After returning home, Altair went to her bedroom, took off her dress, and changed into a knight's outfit that would allow for easy movement.

He then entered the 'laboratory', picked up a large pot, placed it on the gas stove, and began brewing the medicine.

When Altair was promoted to 'Witch', she received knowledge of potions that witches possess, such as: love potions, hallucinogenic potions, weakness potions, virus potions, truth potions, sleeping potions, forgetting potions, and so on, all sorts of potions.

But these "witch's potions" were utterly uninteresting to Altair, who had already become a pharmacist. They often suffered from a variety of problems, including severe side effects, low positive effects, and high costs.

Therefore, Altair never imagined that one day he would create such a "flawed" potion.

However, things are different now. In order to "play" the role, she has to make a batch to try and see if it can help her "digest the magic potion".

Because of her simple female attire, this method of digesting potions is "far too slow" for Altair in her current state.

If things continue at this rate, she'll need at least a year to digest her progress before she can advance to Sequence Six, the "Pleasure Witch."

Altair can't wait, because there are only two and a half years left before the main storyline begins.

When the time comes for many heroes to vie for power, if she lacks the ability to protect herself two and a half years later, she will inevitably be plotted against.

After the water boiled, Altair used the "Sleeping Potion" as a model and appropriately modified the soup in the pot using his "Pharmacist" ability. He added a Nightsleeping Flower, ... 5 Moondust Grass leaves, and a small amount of sandalwood.

After the last ingredient was added, the liquid in the pot gradually turned a pale purple color. After filtering it through linen, Altair obtained a specially made version of the 'Sleeping Potion'.

Fortunately, these potions possessed a faint spiritual quality after being made; otherwise, Altair would have had no way of knowing what their effects would be.

The special edition "sleep potion" will put you into a "sleep state" ten minutes after taking it, and external noises will not be able to interrupt your sleep.

"The outward manifestations of the user are a decreased respiratory rate and a decreased heart rate; without careful observation, they appear as if they are dead."

"A single dose can induce sleep for about 12 hours; of course, doubling the dose can induce sleep for up to 24 hours."

After creating the potion he wanted, Altair began to experiment continuously to reduce costs, create new products, and enhance their effects.

...................

November 18, 1346, which was the fifth day of making the special potion.

After changing into clothes suitable for escape, Altair picked up a black hood to disguise his identity. He then placed the potion into a wooden box.

After everything was ready, they left the villa and took a public carriage to the North District to begin selling these 'special edition potions'.

She decided to go to the northern district of Tingen to sell the medicine after careful consideration.

Altair needs to make her own potions, and since she's not doing charity work, it's impossible for her to give them away for free.

The people in the eastern part of Tingen are so poor that, under normal circumstances, even if they get sick, they will just tough it out instead of spending money to buy medicine.

If they don't even buy medicine, then they certainly wouldn't spend 3 pence on a bottle of a special potion. When they have money, they'll think about 'how to save it up or buy bread'.

The Golden Rooster Quarter is located in the heart of Tingen City, and is heavily guarded by police, making it inconvenient to sell.

I can't go to poor places, and I can't go to rich places either, so I can only choose a place like the North District, which is not really connected to either.

In fact, if college students don't have a holiday, selling to them is the simplest and most efficient option.

In this day and age, students who can go to university are not poor, except for Klein, of course, because he has an enlightened older brother.

It's understandable that wealthy college students would buy a drug with unusual side effects to prank their classmates in order to pass the time. But unfortunately, they're on vacation!

.................

Altair looked at the beautifully dressed 'noble' girl before him and seduced her in a husky voice:

"Beautiful lady, wouldn't you really like to order a bottle?"

"For just 3 pennies, you can lose 5 pounds in a week and make your figure slimmer...and more attractive."

At this moment, Altair was like the old witch tempting Snow White to eat the poisoned apple, enticing the young girl in front of her who was clearly anxious about her body.

The girl looked at herself, then at the potion in Altair's hand, and asked, "Can it really help me?"

"Of course," Altair added. "The red potion is taken internally, and the blue potion is applied to the areas where you want to lose weight. It works after just one application. I swear to the eternal sun."

After receiving a clear answer, the girl took the potion from Altair's hand, examined it briefly, and then asked:

"These medications must have some side effects, otherwise you wouldn't have bought them so cheaply. I want to know if they will affect my health."

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Altair paused for a second. Feeling quite embarrassed that her first attempt had been exposed, she then said in a hoarse voice:

"There are indeed a few side effects. After taking the medication, you will need to go to the restroom frequently throughout the day, but this will not affect your health. In fact, I believe that enduring these side effects is worthwhile for the sake of beauty."

"What other potions do you have?" the girl asked after receiving the answer she wanted.

"I also have 'Skin Renewal Potion' here to help you remove scars, but the side effect is that your skin becomes sensitive; 'Forget-Me-Not Elixir' can help you forget your anxiety, but the side effect is that it can cause insomnia; 'Warm-Up Potion' has a warming effect, but the side effect is that you need to drink water frequently; 'Delightful Fragrance' emits a floral scent at all times, but it easily attracts bees..." Altair opened the wooden box and introduced each item one by one.

"Of course, I have more than just these here. I also have prank potions, such as: sneeze powder, farting herb juice, itching oil, stuttering water..."

"You can use these medicines without worry. They won't affect your health, they just have a few minor side effects."

After listening to Altair's introduction, the girl said, "Give me some of the skin-renewing potion, the beauty fragrance, the warming potion, the stuttering water... all of these."

After receiving the potion, she asked, "How can I find you if I need to replenish these potions?"

"Beautiful lady, I'll be selling in the North District for a while. If you need to restock, feel free to stroll around the streets of the North District. If fate brings us together again, I'll approach you and ask," Altair said in a hoarse voice.

After buying the girl, Altair received 21 copper pennies.

She then moved to a different street and targeted a young man who had just come out of a restaurant, successfully selling him another dose of "excitement drug".

Positive effects: Like a blue pill from my previous life; Side effects: It makes people lose control.

When Altair meets a middle-aged man, she recommends the "Hair Growth Potion"; when she meets a middle-aged woman, she recommends the "Skin Firming Toner"... and when she meets a young man, she recommends the Prank Potion... After hearing about the effects of the potion, these people will basically buy at least one bottle, either for their own use or to prank others.

After selling out the potions in the wooden box, Altair would find a hotel nearby, book a room, enter the spirit world to retrieve his remaining stock, put it back into the wooden box, and then go out onto the street to sell them.

After repeating this process three times, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After selling out the last batch of potions, Altair returned to the Wutong Branch Courtyard with a wooden box of copper pennies.

After casually counting the money in the wooden box, Altair found that she had received a total of over 500 copper pence. Looking at the coins, she was troubled, unable to think of any way to spend all the money.

After having a quick lunch, she went back into the laboratory and started brewing the herbal soup.

Before going to bed that night, I checked out my extraordinary abilities. I discovered that buying one day's worth of potions was equivalent to three days' worth of costume work. I thought to myself, "It seems this method is quite useful. I can increase the production of potions to speed up the costume process."
